The Journey to Leadership Success

Developing Multicultural Leaders

From the reviews:“This book attempts to address the needs of energy researchers, chemical engineers, energy resources specialists, agriculturists, crop cultivators, and others interested in bioenergy. … for non-engineering readers and students, this book may be adequate for a comprehensive overview of the field. It may also be useful … for engineering students. … Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates, two-year technical program students, general readers.” (A. C. Sheth, Choice, Vol. 47 (8), April, 2010)“Describes the main biorefinery concepts for the production of fuels based on biomass and their technical opportunities. … In the more technical parts he shows the biomass fractionation and valorisation, the different thermochemical and biochemical processes and an overview to economical, political and environmental impacts of biorefineries. Overall this book is a good reference for biofuel production in biorefineries.” (Bio-based News, Issue 8, February/March, 2011)“The book clearly aims towards both general and advanced level readers. … The main focus of the book is however on various thermo chemical and biochemical processes that take place in the biorefinery. … the author particularly discusses the technological, economical and policy barriers which need to be overcome for full fledged deployment of a biorefinery based economy. … To gain a comprehensive outlook on this concept is thus highly desired and this is deservedly fulfilled by the book.” (Vishal Toro, Green Energy, Vol. 6 (5), September-October, 2010)

&ldquo;Bob&rsquo;s story is inspiring on many levels. His story is deeply moving, surprisingly humorous and brimming with hard won wisdom for readers from every walk of life. I hope you find deep value in reading about Bob&rsquo;s compelling journey.&rdquo;&mdash;US Senator Chris Coons, Delaware, from the Foreword &#160; &ldquo;Straight talk from a straight shooter. Bob and I began as client/counsel on many Discovery Communications real estate transactions; just as those developed into a complex headquarters project, our relationship has grown into friendship. This book deals with many life challenging topics like health management, child rearing, and even the possibility of &#160;miracles. You may not have the same background or experiences, but in his story Bob gives insights that will certainly make you ask &lsquo;what if?&rsquo; and perhaps even influence future choices. Kudos to the Brams family for sharing this battle and continuing the fight!&rdquo;&mdash; Pandit Wright, former Discovery Channel senior executive, and president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of the National Capital Region &#160; &ldquo;I had the honor and privilege of reviewing Bob Brams&rsquo;s new book, Forever Optimistic. This story of his survival against all odds is nothing short of extraordinary. Bob walks us through a harrowing tale of his two craniotomies on both the East and West Coasts, as well as radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Following his first surgery, Bob battled a stroke, a coma, life support, and even hemophilia. Bob was left with difficulties walking, thinking, and speaking; and he had to undergo lengthy&#160;24/7 care at the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, DC followed by years of therapy.&#160; The aftermath of his myriad medical procedures, problems, and therapy, led him to search his soul on how he had led his life and what it takes to lead a successful and fulfilling life. Bob explores many of the precise issues that have come up throughout my many years of psychiatry practice. Bob&rsquo;s thoughts and conclusions are spot on. Bob has a lovely wife and two children so he&rsquo;s seen a lot. I found the book fascinating, captivating, and full of keen insights about life&#39;s many trials. Brain tumor or not, I believe that all readers from parents, to students, to professionals&mdash;virtually anyone&mdash;will find Bob&rsquo;s book to be a thoroughly&#160;insightful and captivating read.&rdquo;&mdash;Jerrold M. Post, MD,&#160;professor emeritus, George Washington University, and president, Political Psychology, Ltd &#160; &ldquo;While always self-effacing, our author Bob Brams never&#160;underestimates himself. His new book paints a picture of a man struck down by a brain cancer diagnosis at the peak of his legal career. He fights the battle with unrelenting adversity, courage, common sense, humor, and proportionality. However, he neglects to inform the reader that he fell from a&#160;high&#160;perch. Indeed Bob rose to the top of the vaunted Washington, DC legal profession. He did so through hard work and his gift for the law. I believe that one of the reasons that he&rsquo;s risen so high is that he would always&#160;assert only&#160;well-reasoned arguments. Bob also has an uncanny ability to never let his professional relationship with adversaries interfere with the personal relationship he would develop with them. He has maintained friendships with clients and adversaries to this day.&#160;&#160;Confronting a deadly brain tumor, Bob has applied his positive attitude, force of character, and diligence to achieve a quality of life of a different sort, as he shares in this riveting account of his illness, pas de deux with the medical profession, and application of his life skills to a new normal. This is must-read&#160;for a&#160;broad&#160;range of readers from those struggling through a devastating illness or other situations to&#160;those individuals struggling to find success in&#160;law, business, and life.&rdquo;&mdash;Judge Christine O.C. Miller, United States Court of Federal Claims (Ret.) &#160; &ldquo;I&rsquo;m honored to endorse Bob Brams&rsquo;s book Forever Optimistic. Bob&rsquo;s medical experience was nothing short of devastating, but he&rsquo;s come out of it all with the greatest of insights&#160;on choosing your path and leading life. Bob&rsquo;s battle back from tragedy has led him to reflect on valuable thoughts on overcoming failures to benefiting from his many achievements in the legal profession &hellip; Bob&rsquo;s cancer battle took him right up to the edge of death. He&rsquo;s definitely been the beneficiary of so many miracles that only the good Lord can provide. While he fights on with continually perplexing MRIs, Bob&rsquo;s come out of it all with wisdom that should be invaluable for all. Bob&#39;s book is inspirational, motivational, and chock full of key lessons for leading a successful &#160;life. I&rsquo;m confident that Bob&rsquo;s story will be powerful and healing for so many.&rdquo;&mdash;Kyle Snyder, US Olympic gold medalist in wrestling; three time NCAA champion in wrestling&#160;

Forever Optimistic: Fighting Brain Cancer, Finding Your Best Path, and Leading a Life with Purpose

From the reviews:“In this book, Antonio Liotta and George Exarchakos have successfully tackled the challenge of explaining in easy to understand terms how the Internet works today and how it could be upgraded. The first two chapters of the book deal with how the Internet works today. The next seven chapters deal with how it could be upgraded … . I strongly recommend the book to non networking specialists who are not ‘dummies,’ but have a keen interest in the Internet and its evolution.” (Roch Glitho, IEEE Communications Magazine, February, 2012)“This book presents the old and well-known concepts so that readers can understand them. This is helpful, since no computer network expert knows all of the concepts. … The book is quite instructive and timely, and presents all concepts, both new and existing. … an interesting read for students, or for those who are interested in computer networks but don’t have the technical knowledge. Professionals and researchers in the computer networking field will also find the book interesting, as it offers new ideas and discussions.” (Kalinka Castelo Branco, ACM Computing Reviews, September, 2011)
